Rekkrholl
Definitely what most people think of when they hear 'Bakdreskr', Rekkrholls, or Rekkr for short, are impervious lithovores who call the cacophony of battle their home. Sporting dense bones, thick skin, and an extra, specialized layer of muscle, Rekkr are known for being living fortifications in combat.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Rekkr are generally larger than other Bakdreskr with heavier bones and muscles. Their body is padded with a special layer of muscle which can be hardened at will, granting extra protection from trauma.
Biological Traits

Dietary Needs and Habits
Rekkr have a preference for stone and metal. They can subsist on other foods, but it doesn't make them feel as full.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Rekkr faces are generally homely, with round noses, heavy brows, and a blocky, craggy jawline. Scars are abundant and varied, and a Rekkr isn't considered mature until a combat wound mars their face in some way.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Rekkrs don't receive a surname until they receive a wound in battle that will leave a visible scar. The name is often related to the weapon used on the Rekkr or the shape of the scar combined with the suffix -riva(scarred). In exceptional circumstances, this convention will be put aside for the general naming, which is more honorable and usually only earned upon leading several successful campaigns.
e.g.(translated from Bakdreska) Hammarriva - Hammerscarred, Dynjariva- Thunderscarred, Nithriva - Crescentscarred.
